When I saw that Kim and Ricki’s SOS Kitchen Challenge for November was parsnips, I was pumped. A vegan, grain-free muffin idea started to swirl around in my brain and yes it took me an entire month to finally bring this idea to reality. Time can sure slip away from you when you’re a busy mommy. Can I tell you though, I am so pleased with these muffins! They are very moist (my favorite characteristic in a muffin) and my 2-year-old son LOVES them, which warms my heart because I make these allergy-friendly recipes with him in mind (due to his eczema ). But kids are the world’s best food critics, don’t you think? My husband also ate these up. I hope you enjoy them too.

4. Add oil, coconut nectar, vanilla, applesauce, stevia, and water; mix until incorporated 5. Add grated parsnips and mix6. Add dry ingredients from food processor and mix until incorporated. Do not over mix. And don’t be afraid…this is a thick batter!It’s all good.7. Immediately transfer to baking cups and fill about 3/4 full – they will rise slightly, but not much*Bake as instructed above*Make a warm cup of tea and enjoy a healthy snack

Another way to get in one’s veggies! While I would have never thought about parsnips in muffins, Amber, I can see where they’d create a very moist delicious muffin. Having your son’s endorsement helps convince me!

Great question. And yes – absolutely. Just one caveat, however, I’m not sure about the liquid ratios, as this will change a bit with the grains. Perhaps you can play around with the recipe a bit. I would start with 1 1/2 to 2 cups of the grain flour and see how the batter looks. A dry batter with grains will be a very dry muffin, so try and keep it moist. Here are some good gluten free/nut free flour blends you can use:
